This fascinating publication presents the roles two men have played
in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of
the most successful and recognized brands in the world. Known for
both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the
luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The
first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton,
who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer)
into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele
that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the
elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples
of Vuitton's craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into
them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the
book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton's creative
director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new
era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers-such
as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse-as well as
designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the
company. By examining two divergent but often similar careers one
hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only a
layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150
years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in
the new century.
